Never too old to … play & move! It is also extremely important for the elderly to keep playing enough. To stay physically and mentally fit. Neuropsychology has shown that there is a clear relationship between physical activity and cognitive functions such as memory. Through movement you keep your brain well blooded and thus also the important areas that provide for motor skills and cognition. A carefully designed outdoor space contributes to the well-being of people, especially if it also facilitates sufficient exercise.
CARE FOR PEOPLE & THE ENVIRONMENT
Also for the elderly, not every elderly person has the same need for (exercise) elements and the use of outdoor space. Everyone experiences the outdoor environment differently, because every person is also different. Whether it concerns social activities, seeking peace, exercise therapy, rehabilitation support or simply enjoying gardening and being outside, we should design the outdoor space in such a way that all types of people feel comfortable staying there. Especially for care and welfare, we use a design approach that matches these needs and characteristics of the users of the outdoor space. Think of furnishing concepts especially for exercise, picking, play, experience and snoezelt gardens. For every space and for every care need, a suitable design and spatial solution! We offer various furnishing concepts for healthcare:
- Down Memory Lane, experience gardens for dementia care
- Forever Young, for longer independent living and vital elderly
- Exploring Senses, stimulates the senses of people with a visual or hearing impairment
- Playing Together, outdoor areas for people with a physical and / or mental disability
